Yeah, Amiami's server truly sucks ass! I was there right before pre-order opening time and took me forever to login! Fortunately I did manage to get my pre-order(s) in for three of them... }D

Due to some recent bad experiences I had with Amiami, I was intending to preorder at HLJ, but I got careless and preorders closed there, while at Amiami they are still open. Never had imagined it would happen.
In the end, I preordered at Hobby Search. They are offering 30% off, so I think it's the best price out there (though shipping fees may be the same as Amiami).

Because it keeps artificial demand, stuff like the Frontier and Metal figures are high-end. Bandai does not want to over produce then have items go on sale after, it gives the impression that these are not that "special" so they limit the amount so it can keep it's high-end/rare image. seems to work since pre-orders are constantly sold out along with re-issues but it sucks trying to get one i the first place.

I assume no Reitou Beam accessory since it's an OVA Kaiser. I impatiently can't for the accessory photos!

I'm pretty sure they will carry both Banshee and Kaiser. I'm checking Anime Island and Amazon...hourly. So I'll let my bros know when it goes up for PreO at either one.

Metal Composite Banshee's already out of stock at AmiAmi, Anime Expo, and Nippon Yassan.... I know that (MC Banshee) figure and the Robot Damashii Deathsycthe cause the servers to overload and the web traffic but you posted in the wrong thread. I am not worried about any and all SR selling out. Just look at Shin Getter, preorders still available. Pretty much any SRC of any type will be around cause SR (Go Nagai etc...)popularity is no where near that of Transformers and Gundams. Make a SRC version of Optimus or Unicorn Gundam and you will see instant sellouts. Anything other, even a character as popular as Gurren Lagann isn't a instant sell out. Bottomline, both Transformers and Gundam have multiple site/forum dedicated to only Transformers and Gundams. We have Robot Japan Forum for our SR and we have what about 100 or so member that cares for these types of SRC. Even if all member were to log in to amiami to buy the SRC Mazinkaiser, it most likely wont cause the server crash.

While it is absolutely true that Transformer and Gundam toys are more popular the Go Nagai type of robots, it is only because there are just about a gazillion different characters in those genres. World wide, Mazinger, Grendizer, and Getters are still kings of popularity, and based on their own unchanged decades old designs... unlike Transformer or Gundams, which change designs every other day and have a new show every other week. }D

Don't forget new kamenrider figuarts went up as well so that also attributed to the server crash. Anyway managed to snag me a Kaiser and a Deathsycthe Hell so now its just the long wait til November.

looking at the way the arms connect, I have to wonder...Will they include a unique rocket punch effect that will really show how powerful the punch really is?
like this? maybe do a mix of rocket trail and a spinning casing that wraps around the trail AND the fist?
